Oh Shiv, I love your tile/jigsaw theory of love - how simple yet profound you\'ve made it all sound.

\"And he was lly lly sod for even doubting that Hermione and he would be happy. \"

He beinbeing rather silly, wasn\'t he? Or are those words just inviting trouble? Adorable chapter!

Beautiful chapter, Shiv, (referring to chap 19). Very clever, very amusing, and rather touching.

Chapter 19... I\'m glad to see that Hermione & Severus survived their shopping excursion with Argus!!! I LOVE the way you had Hermione explain the puzzle theory to Severus, very nice touch!!! I\'m also glad that she made sure that he knows he belongs to her!!! Looking forward to chapter 20, Deb >^..^<

Shiv! Where you been? No postings for three days, I was getting a bit twitchy. Deary me, Sev needs a good slap doesn\'t he? Perhaps Hermione should sneak up to Hogwarts mid week and give him a top up. It\'s bit like re-conditioning an old battery, poor old sod can\'t hold a charge for very long. Glad to see Min has him under her wing and glad to hear all will be well with Filch. I was beginning to worry.

Chapter 18... This really was a sweet chapter!!! I think Minerva hit the target, Severus is just not used to being happy!!! I hope that when he sees Hermione again he will realize that it was him missing her that was bothering him!!! I\'m glad that he has Minerva to help him understand things of this nature!!!

Looking forward to the date between Minerva & Argus as well as seeing Severus & Hermione getting together again!!! Til chapter 19, Deb >^..^<

Poor Severus has the jitters, that daft sod!

I found it very amusing when Minerva \"sealed her fate\" for the sake of them. I\'m gratified to hear that her and Filch\'s date will be a success and can\'t help but anticipate her jitters in the aftermath.

Needless to say, brilliant chapter as always!

I certainly do hope that Minerva\'s date will be a success! As much time and trouble as she has generously given to help out Snape and Hermione, the woman has earned a good time and happiness for herself.

*grieves for sad Snape* Bless his heart.

I love this story. Actually I love all of your stories. But for some reason I found the opening paragraphs a little jarring -- I had trouble with the transition from the prior chapter. I had to read the beginning of this several times to figure out exactly what Severus was feeling and why.

I think the problem was that I took the line \"breakfast was painful\" as referring to Hermione. The sentence comes just after you discuss Severus HermHermione talking. So I thought the breakfast occured over the weekend and didn\'t realize you had reverted to the present.

But\'s that is one little quibble about what I consider to be a really great work.

OH thank goodness, becausgottgotta say I am seriously nervous for poor old Argus! I know he\'s a smelly, ugly sort of guy, but hey if Severus can land a babe like Hermione then there is hope for good ole Filch! Right?...
